In response to Google’s announcement today that their new +1 button was available for inclusion on websites, the team at thehomepage.com.au have moved quickly to make the social sharing button available throughout their site.

According to Google “the +1 button makes it easy for visitors to recommend your pages to friends and contacts exactly when their advice is most useful – on Google search.”

Now, in addition to other social sharing options, the +1 button gives visitors to thehomepage another way to share properties of interest with their networks.

According to thehomepage spokesperson, Ben Stockdale, social media is a big part of the way buyers, sellers and agents interact with real estate and the web.

“Our recent site redesign saw us add a sharing bar right at the top of almost every page”, he said.

“Individuals looking at property are increasingly sharing their recommendations on Facebook and Twitter and Google’s +1 button just makes sense and we implemented it immediately.”
